Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 363 Fencing Competition
Chapter 363: Chapter 363 Fencing Competition
Qiu Jun stood inside the room, his deep and icy gaze following them as they left, a suffocatingly fierce aura enveloping him.
He was actually with Xiao Chen?!
The feeling was decidedly uncomfortable, as if something had slipped beyond his control.
Poison Centipede walked in, stood there for a while, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "Young Master Qiu, they’ve left."
Seeing he didn’t speak, Poison Centipede quietly left the room.
The appearance of K had already disturbed Young Master Qiu’s state of mind, even disrupting their three-year plan.
He had never anticipated K would actually be with someone from Tu Mi Garden?!
The three forces had already withdrawn, luckily without incident.

At four in the afternoon, the goods were delivered to the predetermined location. The person who came to receive them was none other than the ever-absent Xiao Yu.
He was different from his three brothers, Xiao Feng. Taller and leaner, he had spent years stationed in Wilderness, where the sand and wind had left his skin rough, but Yun Yue found him somewhat more handsome than the other three brothers.
"Master Chen, why have you come yourself?" Xiao Yu was somewhat surprised, his gaze flickering when he noticed Yun Yue by his side.
There had been significant movements among the forces at Poison Centipede’s end, and with them arriving an hour late, he had thought something happened to them and was about to send someone to meet them when they showed up.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, "I received the intelligence and came over, the goods are yours now."
"Yes, I guarantee to complete the mission!" Xiao Yu’s spirits lifted, his eyes resolute.
These cultural relics belonged to the z-nation, and he would protect them with his life if necessary.
"Mm, after you get back, continue to stay posted in the North Wilderness," said Xiao Chen, his eyes dark and profound.
Xiao Yu met his gaze, a hint of deep thought flashing in his eyes.
Upon seeing Xiao Feng, Xiao Yu approached with a smile, "Brother, how have you been recently?"
Xiao Feng patted his shoulder, indulgently rare, "Pretty good, you’ve grown quite a bit stronger, kid."
As for their bond, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yu had the closest one.
Xiao Yu glanced around to make sure no one was nearby before leaning in and whispering, "Brother, I heard Master Chen sent you to Miss Yun’s side to be a cook?"
"If you’re unwilling, I can talk to Master Chen. You’re at least the captain of Xiao Family Guards and a steward of Tu Mi Garden, how can you be a cook for a woman?"
He said he heard it from Xiao Dian.
His older brother was good in all aspects but a bit too soft-hearted, too agreeable. Whatever Master Chen asked him to do, he did, but if it were a proper mission, that would be one thing.
But a cook? That was hardly a proper mission.
He even wondered if Master Chen had given up on him, letting him waste away at the side of a woman.
Xiao Feng spoke without much concern, "It was my own choice."
He paused briefly, then seriously added, "Being with Miss Yun gives me the opportunity to learn a great deal. She is more formidable than anyone, and she said she could help me improve my strength."
Xiao Yu stared at him in disbelief, thinking he had been bewitched by Yun Yue.
She could teach him things?!
She was more formidable than anyone?!
She could enhance his strength?!
But seeing the serious look on his face, Xiao Yu couldn’t bring himself to crush his spirits, and could only sigh, "Hey, if it’s your choice, then keep at it."
At least it’s safe.
If any mishap befell the three of them, he could at least leave an heir for their family.
Xiao Feng had no idea what was going on in Xiao Yu’s heart; he was only thinking about what to make for Yun Yue to eat tonight.
After the delivery was done, Feng Ye’s tightly strung nerves finally relaxed, and he slept straight through to the next morning.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he ran into a couple acting intimately. His stretching movements halted abruptly, and he hovered his hands in mid-air, not knowing what to do.
He blinked sincerely.
A gaze sharp as a knife swept over him, and Feng Ye felt a chill on his neck instantly. He chuckled awkwardly, turning his head to look at the sky outside: "The weather is really nice today. Continue on, I won’t interrupt." freewēbnoveℓ.com
Yun Yue’s eyebrows rose at the sight of Feng Ye scampering away like a fugitive. The corners of her lips lifted, and a thin mist swirled in her eyes, as if to lure Xiao Chen in.
Xiao Chen’s gaze was fiery, as if burning with flames, looking to melt Yun Yue.
He took a deep breath, straightened his leaning body, and fixated on her as a wolf eyes its prey: "Tomorrow, I’ll take you out to play, and the day after we’ll return to z-country."
"Okay," Yun Yue said, her hand propping herself up on the railing. Just moments ago, they had nearly pushed up against each other, and even through two layers of clothing, she could clearly feel his scorching warmth.
Her heart had raced then, as if about to leap out. She cornered it in her chest, legs feeling wobbly. Had it not been for the railing behind her, she would have completely lost her composure.
Xiao Chen looked down, finding the delicate collarbones before him extremely alluring. Like palm-leaf fans, her eyelashes cast a trembling shadow.
At noon, they took a helicopter back to Tu Mi Garden.
Xiao Dian hurried over to greet them when he learned of their arrival, an unusual joy on his face: "Master Chen, Mr. Feng... Miss Yun."
When his gaze landed on Yun Yue, his eyes flickered. He had been filled in about the delivery by Duwa.
Their safe passage through the Forbidden Zone was all thanks to her efforts.
Yun Yue could clearly sense his shift in attitude but didn’t pay it much mind. Carrying her backpack, she headed upstairs.
Xiao Dian’s gaze returned from the distance, inquiring: "Master Chen, there’s a fencing match tomorrow, will you go watch?"
Calling it a fencing match was an understatement. It was more like a wager.
The prize for this competition was a slot offered by the Medical Organization, and various powers would undoubtedly fight tooth and nail for it.
"Go," Xiao Chen responded with a light nod of his chin. He wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.
"Alright, there are two forces to look out for this time: the Underground Alliance and the Martin family."
These two powers were formidable and not to be underestimated; winning this competition would be tough.
The fencer from the Underground Alliance was injured in an explosion last time and reportedly hadn’t recovered yet, so there was no need to worry about them. The Martin family was the real concern.
The Martin family excelled in fencing, and the very reason for their vast power was their victories in every fencing match, winning countless prizes.
Tu Mi Garden had always come in second or third, with the Martin family practically monopolizing first place.
This slot from the Medical Organization seemed destined to slip through their fingers once again.
Xiao Chen had heard of the Martin family but had never really taken the fencing matches to heart. He was just thinking of showing him around this time.
After all, such minor gains were beneath his notice.
However, the prospect of a slot from the Medical Organization was indeed tempting.
The next morning, Tu Mi Garden was dew-laden; in the rising sun’s rays, they shimmered brilliantly. What should have been a serene garden was instead mixed with a cacophony of sounds.
Today, Yun Yue dressed in a work uniform and pants, cool and dashing, hair pulled back in a high ponytail, with a black baseball cap adding to her crisp and mysterious look. Her black leather shoes thudded on the wooden stairs as she walked.
"Miss Yun, good morning."
The brothers who had gone on a mission yesterday greeted her as they saw her pass. After this event, they no longer dared to underestimate her.
Those who were part of this mission were elites. Seeing her being treated with such reverence and adoration, what was with the admiring looks some of the lower-ranking members were giving Yun Yue?
They were all scratching their heads in confusion.
